Sorry, this post is telling me nothing I cannot find by clicking on Edge’s various buttons. What would be more helpful would be a post regarding cookie management. Edge does not allow ‘prompting’ for cookies. Nor does it allow the user to view the cookies. It’s an “all or nothing” situation.
What I would like to know is how to delete — for example — all cookies, but Microsoft’s?
CCleaner? a homebrewed app? IMHO, Microsoft dumbed up IE for phone and advertiser use.

I somehow have a virus on my Edge that keeps loading malicious pages “call the technicians at this number, etc.” everytime I try to delete this page, it loads another page. The main problem is it incapacitates the entire Edge controls, so I cannot use the above procedure to eliminate the cache. The only way I can stop it is to use Task Manager to stop Edge. However, restarting edge starts back up at the same point.

Its not just Edge. Its probably some PUP that has installed itself on to your computer. I suggest you run a full scan with your antivirus software. Also download and use freeware AdwCleaner. More details on this here: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/free-browser-hijacker-removal-tool And in any case do not call them. Once the scans are over, use Disk Cleanup Tool to clear your PC junk files.

It could also be that Edge automatically loads the last page you used so every time you kill Edge with Task Manager, and restart it reloads the same page with the same hijack. I have a similar problem, I have 5 pages open and everytime I kill Edge, and restart, all five pages reopen including (the problem) simplebloodsugarfix which hijacks my browser and greys out all Windows controls (UAC style) offering me only two buttons the instant I try to close the browser window.
